Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] mm/vmalloc: fix vmalloc_dump_obj VA lookup
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 21:17:20 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921-vmalloc_dump_obj-v2-0-73fceb3ed1c8@linux.dev> (raw)
vmalloc_dump_obj() has two bugs that cause it to miss vmalloc
allocations, plus a minor optimization opportunity:
1. PAGE_ALIGN() rounds up, pushing last-page addresses to va_end
and outside the VA lookup range.
2. The function searches only one vmap node, but allocations
larger than 64 KiB may span multiple vmap zones whose VA
is stored in a different node's rb-tree.
Patch 1 fixes the alignment, patch 2 fixes the cross-zone search,
patch 3 adds an early is_vmalloc_or_module_addr() check to skip non-vmalloc
addresses without traversing all nodes.
Signed-off-by: Ye Liu <liuye@kylinos.cn>

Changes in v2:
- Use is_vmalloc_or_module_addr() instead of is_vmalloc_addr() to
avoid filtering module/BPF/execmem addresses. (sashiko-bot)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260916-vmalloc_dump_obj-v1-0-7aa402d224df@linux.dev
